Abstract
It was hypothesized that more students would be absent from classes in the MWF afternoon sections than in the MWF morning sections or the morning and afternoon sections on TTh. Further, the increase in class absences would consequently mean lower grades. To test these hypotheses the data from 910 students were analyzed. There was a moderately significant relationship (p < .10) between class absences and grades in the MWF-pm classes. Students who were absent from classes more frequently tended to earn lower grades. The mean number of class absences for the MWF-pm classes was 3.19; for the MWF-am classes it was 370. Students in the MWF-pm earned higher grades (x2 = 19.71, p < .10) than the other class meeting times.
